Description Weilong Chen 2013-12-30 12:12:52 UTC 
kernel:3.13.0-rc4

I did a test like this:
On host1:
1)ifconfig eth0 add fd00::3
On host2:
1)ifconfig eth0 add fd00::4
2)ping6 fd00::3

Everything went OK.

Then:
On host1:
1)ifconfig lo down;ifconfig lo up
On hsot2:
1)ping6 fd00::3

There was no reply from host1!

Thank you for the report!

This was first fixed with 25fb6ca4ed9cad72f14f61629b68dc03c0d9713f ("net IPv6 : Fix broken IPv6 routing table after loopback down-up") and broken again in a881ae1f625c599b460cc8f8a7fcb1c438f699ad ("ipv6: don't call addrconf_dst_alloc again when enable lo").

You could fix this by adding the local route again:

ip -6 r a local fd00::3 dev lo

I hope I can come up with a fix shortly.
